How do I cook Danodia Foxtail Millet for everyday meals?

Cooking foxtail millet is straightforward and similar to other small whole grains. Rinse the grains, use a 1:2 grain-to-water ratio for fluffy cooked millet, simmer 12–15 minutes, then rest off-heat for 5 minutes. Adjust water slightly for softer porridge-style results.

• Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear to remove dust.
• Use 1 cup millet to about 2 cups water for pilaf-style texture.
• Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover, and cook 12–15 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
